Our Story

What started with a spark of curiosity, a piece of metal, and a lot of trial and error has grown into Cut-N-Rust, a woman-owned Made in Montana company creating custom wholesale products for the tourism and retail industry.Karrie’s journey began in metal art with no formal welding experience and a willingness to figure things out along the way. That hands-on determination helped turn a small creative venture into a growing Montana business. As Cut-N-Rust evolved, so did its products, equipment, and vision.Today, Cut-N-Rust has made an exciting transition into the wholesale marketplace, specializing in custom souvenirs designed for museums, parks, visitor destinations, attractions, and gift shops. Our goal is simple: help our wholesale partners offer products that feel connected to the places their customers came to experience.Using our in-house metal plasma cutting and UV printing capabilities, we create custom magnets, keychains, bottle openers, ornaments, car charms, ceramic car coasters, wooden puzzles, and other souvenir products featuring destinations, landmarks, wildlife, logos, and regional designs.Being located in Montana continues to influence who we are. We value creativity, quality, small-business relationships, and products that tell a story. Whether we're creating a souvenir for a national park destination, a museum, a wildlife attraction, or a small-town gift shop, we want that product to capture a little piece of the experience.For Karrie, one of the most rewarding parts of growing Cut-N-Rust is working directly with wholesale customers to develop products specifically for their location and their customers. We're not interested in simply putting another generic souvenir on a shelf. We want to create something people pick up and say, “I want to take this home.”As Cut-N-Rust continues to grow in the wholesale market, we're excited to build new partnerships, develop new product lines, and bring even more destinations to life through custom souvenirs.Your Adventure.
